The Incompleat Bruce Gillespie: a selection of Bruce Gillespie's fanzine writings, edited by Irwin Hirsh and published by the Bring Bruce Bayside (BBB) Fund with the aid of a generous grant from the Victorian Science Fiction Conventions organisation.

Find out why Bruce Gillespie has won sixteen Ditmar Awards, three William Atheling Awards and the World SF Award, and has been nominated three times for the Hugo Award.

Since 1968, Bruce Gillespie has been writing some of the science fiction world's finest personal articles, reviews and critical articles. This is the first collection of the best of them.

Irwin Hirsh, himself one of the best fan writers and publishers in Australia, has gathered his favourite Gillespie articles into one 40-page volume. They include the Atheling-winning article 'The Non-SF Novels of Philip K Dick', the Fanthology-selected article 'Trains in the Distance', and two selections from the long-running 'I Must Be Talking to My Friends' column, and other articles long out of print.

The introduction is by Ditmar (Dr Dick Jenssen), who has also provided the cover.

Proceeds from the sales help to fund an air fare so that Bruce can attend Corflu (the fanzine fans' convention) in San Francisco, February 2005. This is the BBB (Bring Bruce Bayside) Fund.
